Injustice is a fighting video game series developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Two games in the series have been released so far – Injustice: Gods Among Us and Injustice 2.
The first game in the series, i.e., Gods Among Us, was released in April 2013, and Injustice 2 hit the markets on May 11, 2017. It has been over five years since the last game in the series was released, and fans have been waiting for a sequel to Injustice 2.
Injustice 3 Release Date
Injustice 3 Release Date
At the time of writing, there have been no official announcements from NetherRealm or Warner Bros., and not even DC about the release date of Injustice 3. NetherRealm Chief Creative Officer Ed Boon tweeted that the studio’s following game announcement will happen soon.
Boon stated, “PSA/FYI We know many of you are excited about the next NRS game announcement & it will happen soon. But first, it is all about 30 years of Mortal Kombat. That’s what we’re going to celebrate and focus on. Our next game announcement will be separate from MK30”.

NetherRealm is known to release games after two years, and it has been over three years since the studio’s last release. Talking to Game Informer Ed Boon stated there is a reason they broke their release pattern, and when the studio makes its next game announcement, it will make a lot more sense. He refrained from giving any more info on NetherRealm’s next project.
Injustice 3 Trailer
Since the game has not been officially announced, there is no available trailer yet. But we will put it here as soon as the studio releases it.
Until we get an official Injustice 3 reveal trailer, fans of this game can enjoy the announcement trailer of Injustice 2 when it was first announced:

Injustice 3 Platforms
The previous Injustice title was available on PS4, Xbox One, Windows, and Mobile Devices. Considering all the rumors and hints from Ed Boon, we do not think that Injustice 3 is hitting the gaming market before 2025.
The next Injustice title will be better than its predecessors and will be released for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and Windows. We do not think the game will be released for PS4 because, by the time Injustice 3 is released, PS4 will have aged.
Injustice 3 System Requirements
Since there has been no official announcement from the devs about the game, Injustice 3 system requirements are unavailable anywhere on the internet. But, considering the timeline for the game’s release, we can speculate on the system requirements. Below are the speculated system requirements for NR’s one of most anticipated games.

Injustice 3 Storyline
There are many possibilities that NetherRealm can choose. Injustice 2 had two endings based on the side that you selected. If you opt for Superman’s side, Superman wins and re-establishes his totalitarian regime,e. If you opt for Batman’s side, Batman defeats Superman and his allies and locks Superman in Phantom Zone.
We might see Batman fighting Superman after the Kryptonian escapes from the Phantom Zone. NetherRealms have been cautious about not letting any of the info out of their studio, so we can only speculate.
We will update that info right here as soon as we get our hands on something interesting.
Injustice Movie
A movie based on the 2013 Injustice video game with the same name was released in Oct 2021. The film follows the same plot as the video game: Joker kills Superman’s pregnant wife, Lois Lane, and nukes the Metropolis, killing millions of people. What follows is Superman becoming vengeful and dark. After killing Joker, he becomes a tyrant on Earth to set peace. Batman calls his other superhero friends (and even former foes) and starts an insurgency against Superman.
The movie faced criticism for several things, ranging from an overstuffed plot to poor character development. However,r critics praised the movie’s animation and the voice artists. The movie’s plot was rushed and could have been 20-25 minutes longer.
Injustice 3 Leaks & Rumors
Rumors are that NetherRealms is working on Mortal Kombat 12, not Injustice 3. Jonathan Anderson, Senior Production Manager, Design at NetherRealm Studios, tweeted the above-posted picture with the caption “Old Desk Art” a while back. If you look closely at the computer screen in the top right corner, Christy’s email reads, “…Do not share any part of this video…Our fans eagerly scrape the internet for any trace… take extra care with this material.”
Also, below that email, we can see a file named MK12_Mast… The tweet was deleted 10 minutes later after it was initially posted. Many fans believe that this is an intentional troll and that NetherRealms is messing with their fans. Also, NR’s COO, Ed Boon, has a reputation for doing such pranks and teasing their fans.
Neither NetherRealms nor Warner Bros. reacted to this leak and remained silent whenever questioned about their next project. This year marked Mortal Kombat’s 30th anniversary, so it makes more sense for the studio to be working on MK12. If this is true, this would mean that Injustice 3 is, to say the least, years away.
Moreover, many fans have been speculating that the Wonder Woman character art seen on Jonathan’s desk is for Injustice 3, although these are just speculations. This Wonder Woman art has not been used in any of the games or movies, so it might be possible that it is for Injustice 3, but there is no hint or any other rumor that can confirm this.
